My laptop had a GeForce Go 6150 in it. I don't think I could ever play a game on it again now I've seen the dedicated GPU world. You planning on getting something dedicated for that thing? Actually, I can't see too well in the picture; is there an AGP or PCIe slot on that motherboard?

I really hate seeing a motherboard that has space set aside for four RAM slots but only two were installed. Mine is like this as well. Is it really that expensive for the manufacturer to put all four slots on? Or... is it more like some of the motherboards they make have defective RAM slots so they don't make them usable?

That fucker must be pretty old. (Assuming it came with the PC, of course...)

No, just got the headphones a few weeks ago for xbox 360 gaming (I game on a monitor).

@varmint: It actually only has 2 ram slots, and one of them has a stick in it. Plus the graphics are integrated so in order to upgrade i'd also need a new motherboard.

I'm assuming the longer black slot is your PCI-E so you'd just need to put a card there. How would integrated graphics stop you from getting a dedicated card anyway lol?

It wouldn't stop him. His integrated gpu might even support Hybrid SLI. Which would give him a slight boost.

wat? I can get a better gfx card?

Yeah I would think your motherboard has a PCI-E slot in there. It looks like the longer black slot is your PCI-E 2.0 x16 and the other is the standard PCI-E. The computer is a Compaq, but they still use parts that are open to the market, which almost always have a video card expansion slot.

Yes, I can see that. What I'm referring to is that the motherboard appears to be designed for four RAM slots but only two were installed on it... it bothers me is all. My motherboard has that same pattern, with two RAM slots and then two spaces next to them that look like they should be RAM slots as well.

As for the PCIe slot, I just couldn't see it very well.

Wow, upon further inspection of the picture, that motherboard is barebones to the extreme. It does have a PCI-E x16 slot there, though. How could it not be? There's a PCI-E x1 slto next to it.

So this means I can get another gfx card for it?
